Forster Co-Ax Reloading Press

Any one using one of these? If so, what are the likes/dislikes with the press. I like the open front design and simplicity of the way it works but I don't know any one who uses one. Comments please.   KN

I don`t use one because they are to slow for me, I load on Dillon 550, but alot of benckrest shooter load on them. Excellant press if your into single stage presses.

.......They are great presses and well made with well machined parts......BUT they are more expensive because of that and SOME die sets will have to have the lock rings replaced to fit the Co-ax and the newer type competition seating dies for the 30-06 length and longer shells won't clear the press handle with the Forster design....I don't have one myself ....but used a friends and talked to them about the press and their long time use of it.......the "floating" slide in type of die mounting lets the die self center on the case and seems to let the runout of good cases remain small...........other Forster equipment that I do have is also well made and solid.....hth...good luck and good shooting-loading!!
